The Munambam fishing harbor is situated about 5 km north of Cherai beach and is the northern tip of Vypeen island. Munambam is surrounded by Arabian Sea at west, end of Periyar river at east and the mouth of sea at the north side. To protect the harbor mouth, two ramparts are constructed into the sea to about half kilometer using granite stones and concrete blocks. A lot of Chinese fishing nets which looks like huge spider webs adorn these earthworks.
